BJP's traditional allies may not come through this time
BJP has an allies crises
Advani scratching his head
Advani is exhorting his cadres to work hard and win on BJP's own strengths instead of the Allies. In fact he says that Allies come when BJP is strong. They would not come on their own.
"No, we have to fight on our own strength. Allies don't come for nothing, alliances happen on the basis of our own strength... The stronger we get, the more allies we fetch,"
While BJP is in fear of losing its allies in AP, TN and West Bengal, and the seat sharing may not be according to its liking in Orissa, Bihar, Punjab and UP as well. But the worst blow is the indication that the Shiv Sena - part of the larger Sangh Parivar - may tie up with NCP this time in Maharashtra.
So, things look bleak for BJP going into the elections.
